Many of us grow up believing that skipping breakfast is a dietary travesty, but the number of us who take time to eat it can vary. Around three-quarters of Americans regularly eat breakfast, while in the UK, around 94% of adults and just 77% of adolescents will regularly eat breakfast.

When pressed for time, the morning breakfast is often the first thing to go. How many of us eat it while on the run, or gladly exchange a bowl of cereal, a couple of slices of toast or a pastry for a few extra minutes in bed?
